Still Not Crawling

My Lo is still not crawling and wont attempt to either. She also has not attempt to stand on her own or try to walk holding on to our finger. I am getting worried that something is wrong.

Re: Still Not Crawling

  • Unless your ticker is off, she's not at the expected age to be doing those things. Those are usually activities for 9-12 month olds.

  • My oldest didn't start crawling until she was 10 months and she's wicked smaht ;-) I wouldn't worry about that at all.

    As far the walking/pulling up, that's not even normal for this age.?

  • Chill :) She'll do it at her own pace. As others said, it's too early. 
  • Mine didn't start crawling until 8 1/2 months. The doctor told me crawling is not a necessary milestone. Some babies do it later or not at all.

  • Don't worry, many babies don't crawl until after 9 months.My oldest was 10 months when he started crawling, and my youngest just started crawling at 8 months.

  • My LO started crawling at 8 1/2 months (about 2 weeks ago). There's still time! No worrying just yet.  And everything changes when they start crawling. You may be able to enjoy your Christmas tree with all its ornaments. We've already had to take off the ornaments on the bottom of our tree bc our LO won't leave them alone.
  • ENJOY your baby not being mobile, seriously. I chase my LO around now and she gets into everything. I love her but it is tiring.  And like others said, crawling is not a milestone, not every baby does it.
  • We just started crawling and he wasn't showing signs of even being close at 7.5 months.

  • Mine's not crawling. I'm not worried - I'm enjoying the fact that he's still somewhat stationary while it still lasts.

  • I wouldn't worry about your baby not crawling yet, but instead enjoy that you do not have to worry about baby proofing yet. My nephew didn't crawl until 14 months and didn't walk until 19 months and he is perfectly healthy.
